You have a 2.5, BABYBOY21 has a 3.2. 3.2's require a higher offset than 2.5's do. It's easier to find wheels with the right offset for 2.5's than for 3.2's without spending $2500+ on wheels. The only thing that makes it hard for 2.5's is that the wheels are 4 lug. I hade 18x7.5's Giovanna Corsicas with a 45 offset with 225/40 tires on my 3.2 and they rubbed with people in the back. I bet the same setup on a 2.5 would be perfect. I think stock offset on a 2.5 is 45 and on a 3.2 its 55.

Keke, mine is gonna rub for sure in the back. cuz i only have 42 offset. I guess no one is gonna sit in the back no more until the extra MMs are rubbed off =P

Glad it worked out. Maybe my springs are going? You know what it might've been. I had 2 12" Rf Power DVC subs in the trunk in a heavy box. That plus 2 people in the back might've lowered the rear causing them to rub.
